...the government that took office after last year’s general election has made clear its aim to reverse this declining trend and expand the role of nuclear power in the coming two decades, implementing legal changes aimed at paving the way for such an energy transformation.

I haven't seen any legislation in the news. How about the lemons? Have you folks seen any?

In filings submitted to the New York state regulatory authority, other prominent offshore wind developers, such as Norway's energy major Equinor and British oil major BP, have officially requested a staggering 54% increase in the price of electricity generated at three planned offshore wind farms.

Author notes supply chain volatility for the increased price for offshore wind as well as cancelled projects. Since, this comes from OilPrice.com, idk if I believe the authors analysis but prices did go up and projects were cancelled.

Coal India on Friday reported a 13.2% rise in its coal production last month at 52.3 million tonne (MT) of coal in August on a year-on-year basis. In August 2022, the public sector major produced 46.2 MT.

At a growth rate of 13.2% per year, Coal India will double their August production in 5 years. That's an insane rate of growth. (~100MT by the end of 2029) Anyone know what India is doing to curb coal extraction?

The cable will run from the 49.9MW Willows Green Solar Farm near Felsted will the built mainly under roads for 5.3km east of the proposed solar farm to Braintree Substation near Galleys Corner.

At full capacity, 50MW is enough to power ~60,000 homes! That's enough for nearly 10% of all of Essex. Glad these are getting connected even though there's plenty of North Sea oil and gas. UK! UK! UK!

To cut emissions from operations, Equinor says that both rigs have been revamped with energy-saving procedures and work methods.

I wonder if the author thought this was silly as it was being written

New coal mine? Approved.

Kazahkstan Number One!

Growth in german wind capacity is slowing. Soo... then the plan is to keep on with lignite and gas? Am I missing something?

In 2022, U.S. production grew by 3.6% to a new all-time high of 94.7 billion cubic feet per day.

When burned, that's 60,000 tons CO2/day.

Paladin’s announcement on July 19, 2022, outlined the decision to recommence operations at Langer Heinrich, targeting the initial volumes for the first quarter of 2024.

The mine has not in in operation since 2018. It's neat to see folks getting uranium fever.

The Defense of Logistics Agency (DLA), acting on behalf of the Department of Air Force (DAF), on Aug. 31 issued a Notice of Intent to Award (NOITA) that selects the Santa Clara, California–based nuclear technology firm’s Aurora Powerhouse for its Eielson Air Force Base pilot and initiates an acquisition process to potentially award Oklo a 30-year, firm-fixed-price contract to pilot the advanced nuclear energy technology.

I feel like this should have been an easy contract for renewables to win. Of course, the government is going to waste money on nuclear when they could have went with wind and solar.

German energy giant RWE has begun dismantling a wind farm to make way for a further expansion of an open-pit lignite coal mine in the western region of North Rhine Westphalia.

I thought renewables were cheaper than coal. How is this possible?
